p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Incoming Yellowlegs

There were about 30 greater yellowlegs standing in the shallows at the south end of the East Pond of Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge here in New York City. It was an unusually warm afternoon with the temperature around 60f so there was a slight bit of fog which created very pretty light as the afternoon progressed. I stopped about 50 feet from them as I did not want to send them into the air and enjoyed seeing individuals fly in and out.

3 is kind of cool Morris, could see it in a pano comp too. Very nice exposure and tracking on the set, they all look good sir!
